Biograd Boat Show Set for Another Record-Breaking Year

With more than 400 exhibitors and over 500 vessels on display, this year's edition of the Biograd Boat Show is set to break new records. To secure additional space for exhibitors currently on the waiting list, the organizers are working in close cooperation with Zadar County and the City of Biograd na Moru.

The event will welcome a host of new exhibitors, including international companies and their sales networks, along with the premier showcase of several new boat brands. This further cements the show’s international standing, drawing visitors and industry leaders from at least ten neighboring countries where Croatia remains the premier nautical destination.

Combining Business and Pleasure – Biograd B2B

As the ultimate gathering point for the Croatian nautical industry, event host Ilirija d.d. has developed Biograd B2B, a tailored business to business networking platform running alongside the show. The platform allows trade visitors to register, participate, and schedule targeted meetings with exhibitors and fellow industry professionals.

As the central hub for B2B operations, the Croatian Chamber of Economy will host the 10th Croatian Nautical Days congress program from October 21st to 24th, 2026. The agenda features industry association meetings, expert presentations, and high level networking events designed to advance the interests of the broader maritime sector.

In addition, the 8th Croatia Charter Expo will take place from October 21st to 22nd in Hall D as part of the Biograd B2B platform. Serving as a crucial touchpoint for the yacht charter industry, the expo will connect Croatian fleet providers directly with international charter agents, brokers, and suppliers.

The New Biograd B2B App

Exhibitors will also benefit from the all new Biograd B2B mobile app, engineered to streamline trade communication. The app features a comprehensive business directory outlining each exhibitor's products and services, a simplified meeting scheduler, and automated event notifications.

A Vibrant Entertainment Program

Biograd Boat Show continues to reinforce its reputation as a trendsetter in hosting promotional showcases, corporate gatherings, and an entertainment program. Visitors can look forward to an unprecedentedly rich lineup and a dynamic atmosphere that seamlessly blends serious business with side events.

Organized for over two and a half decades by Ilirija d.d., the Biograd Boat Show is far more than a typical maritime fair. Held in the third largest marina in Croatia, with vessels displayed directly in the water and vendor booths lining the docks, it serves as the ultimate meeting point for top tier manufacturers, dealers, sailing enthusiasts, and professional organizations.
